* I have not yet received FINAL confirmation that I typeset Chechen, Sindhi and Kalmyk exactly right. I think they're correct, though!

** Many thanks to the folks at native-languages.org for assisting with these translations,and for the work they're doing
in attempting to preserve and protect the indigenous languages of North America!

***Thanks to Sophia on the island of Tatakoto for these!  Merci Sophia!!!


...169 languages and counting!
Many thanks to the wonderful people on the Internet who have helped me compile this ... obsessive thing!

Here's what I'm missing!



I had a request, so, OK, here's one more:
(With apologies to any purists out there)

Pig Latin
Easplay isitvay imay olarsay ipseclay ebsitway!



If you're going to be obsessive, you might as well go all the way. I have tried not to miss too many of the major languages of the world on this page, and I think I have every one with more than a million speakers in the above chart or in the list here. But there have been problems getting all the languages I wanted. Most of the native North American languages don't have a good way to say "web page", and most of the Indic languages have presented difficulties due to the different alphabets used. African languages are tough, period, because of all the dialects, and the difficulities of finding native speakers on the Internet. If you speak a language that is not listed here, please let me know how to say it in _________!!

Please, though, if you send me something, even just a correction to what I have here, make sure I can read the characters! I need to know all the diacritical markings, and, if your handwriting is different from what the characters will look like in a font, I won't spell it right! Speaking of fonts, if they're not on the Internet, I'll need them. Sometimes the best thing to do is just type it into your favorite graphics program, make a jpg and attach it to an e-mail. That way, I can just use the graphic, and I won't mess anything up!

Whatever you do, please, if your language doesn't use English characters, don't send me just a transliteration into English characters (though of course you can include one along with a true translation). That's not a translation, and I consider it insulting to your language not to use your alphabet. You can always attach an explanation, and teach me something I don't know. I welcome any input and/or corrections from native speakers of any language!


Specific thanks to the following:

Rabin Deka (Assamese) - http://www.assam.faithweb.com/
Mariano Tanenglian & Berhanu Bihonegne (Amharic)
Babu Suthar (Gujarati)
Gamini Gunawardana (Sinhalese)
All the great people in the Nairobi airport who tirelessly tracked down native speakers to give me the languages of Kenya!


Go here to see the main languages I know about that I'm still missing. Like I said, though, any language will be appreciated. I've missed many native and aboriginal languages with this list, I know.

Yikes, I almost forgot:

Here's the link so you can visit it!
